For Kuda, directing his first reality show was a daunting challenge.
“Technically I would say it was a bit challenging at first not being able to plan shots and a few other things a couple of days ahead, but with this, I gained experience of thinking quickly on my feet and always being ready.”
Kelly and her family have been under social media scrutiny since the Senzo Meyiwa murder trial began.
In an exclusive interview with eNCA, Kelly, who sat alongside her lawyer at the time, Magdelene Moonsamy, said she felt let down by the justice system.
“I think the lowest point for me is being let down by the law. As a South African citizen, I trust and believe in the law to protect not just me, but my family and our society. But with what has happened to me, I have had my life threatened and family threatened, not once, but multiple times. And I feel like the law is not coming into place to protect and make me feel that it is within my right to have protection for myself and family,” Kelly said.

South African-Ugandan film director and producer Kuda Jemba says he feels incredible after winning a South African Film and Television Award (Safta) for directing the most recent season of Life with Kelly Khumalo.
Season three of the reality show premiered on July 5 in 2022 and documented Kelly’s life during the period in which she was the talk of Mzansi due to controversy around her being implicated in the ongoing Senzo Meyiwa trial and the release of her eagerly anticipated album “Voice of Africa”.
“Generally, I feel incredible and like I’ve just walked on water you know,” said Kuda. “Getting recognition and validation for the hard work we put in as a team is a feeling I can only describe with a sports analogy because it's a team sport and we worked like one. I feel like Michael Jordan’s iconic buzzer-beater.”
It was Kuda’s first Safta award and the culmination of a hugely successful year that also saw him acknowledged as one of Mail & Guardian’s top 200 Young South Africans.
